A Collection of Nursery Rhymes
Thursday, August 6th, 2009I’ve embedded this lovely book of nursery rhymes for you to enjoy! It’s A Collection of Nursery Rhymes… Nurse Lovechild’s Legacy (1916). Many of the illustrations are from the 18th and early 19th century Chapbooks. The book has been embellished by one of my favorite nursery rhyme illustrators: C. Lovat Fraser (1890 – 1921). You can click the arrow below to turn the pages or scroll with the other arrows on the side.
If you prefer to have it on your own computer, you can download A Collection of Nursery Rhymes from Internet Archive ! Just go to the link and choose “PDF” to download it.
Enjoy!

Nursery Rhyme Illustrations
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009I’ve just started adding illustrations from The Only True Mother Goose Melodies to my nursery rhyme site, Mama Lisa’s House of Nursery Rhymes. This book was published and copyrighted in Boston in 1833 by Munroe & Francis.
All the rhymes from the book are already part of the site. So it’s nice to add these classic illustrations. They look like they were done as block prints. Here you can see their version of Baa Baa Black Sheep…
Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, marry have I, three bags full,
One for my master, and one for my dame,
And one for the little boy that lives in the lane.I’ll try to pick out some of my favorites and post them here as I go through the illustrations.
Hope you enjoy them!
